Because the question is close-ended, you're kinda stuck with what you can say. Which is why open-ended questions/topics are better. There also wasn't any discussion on what people were going to write about, so we found that things were pretty similar to each other as a result. For the next topic, the topics were given to prevent overlap, and hopefully provide a more entertaining read for everyone involved. :P It seemed like the point of the first attempt by the ABC was less about the conclusion and more about the processes getting there.

Perhaps it's a seasonal psychological thing? Like depression because it's getting colder or some such. I actually rather liked your idea of opening the "vault." Detailed old, unseen posts are better than no posts at all. Plus it keeps those essays from going to waste on an trafficked blog :-p Kudos to you man! I hope to see fresh posts from you in the future, whenever you manage it, earlier or later than planned :-p That’s what the “whatever” was for. :-p I just felt like pointing out the trend — part of it is definitely due to school starting up, like it is for you, but it’s intriguing nonetheless that people who don’t have that as a reason also seem to sort of burn out around this time as well, for other reasons.

Far from it. I just have a TON of schoolwork I need to finish and almost all of it is due at various points next week, and it won't let up until August 31st. I carefully defined my hiatus to last until the end of August and am posting scheduled old posts from my personal blog about anime until then. It's a temporary break in order to get other things done. Personally I can't wait to jump back in. I ain't quittin' on ya yet. :) I need to clarify–I’m not taking a hiatus because I’m losing interest in anime or getting tired of blogging. Far from it.
